In your opinion?

[Dark Destination]

asking Allāh to guide one to the right sort of action concerning an important endeavour. A two rak‘a prayer is offered for this purpose with a special du‘ā (supplication)

And how does Allah tell us?
And what type of decisions can we use this for?

 

[Faizan Muhammmad]

instincts or wishes?

there is a difference
wishes are on top
deep down there is a little wise voice of conscience-cum-experience that is instinct

 

[Rutzaba]

Istikhara is done when you have to choose between options that are Mubah ( won't be rewarded or punished for doing or not doing the action). For example, choosing whether to buy a BMW or Mercedes.
In my opinion, it's how you feel or choose to perceive it. You may think that Allah will provide you with what you want but after sometime or you are sure or feel that that what you ask is not good for you.

"The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, “Allah the Most High said, ‘I am as My servant thinks (expects) I am. I am with him when he mentions Me. If he mentions Me to himself, I mention him to Myself; and if he mentions Me in an assembly, I mention him in an assembly greater than it. If he draws near to Me a hand’s length, I draw near to him an arm’s length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed." - Source: http://hadithaday.org/hadith-qudsi/i-am-as-my-servant-thinks-expects-i-am/

And.
http://quran.com/2/216
"and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not."

It's upto you now. How you wish to perceive it. This is the beauty of Islam

the meaning of istikhara is that if a thing is better for me let me have it
and if not then let it go far far away from me
ryt now neither is happening

Allah does not reveal or inspire us. You simple choose an option and go for it, based on what you feel is good for you.

he does reveal at tyms too

What? But Rutzaba said we have to ask Allah to guide us with decision.

How will he get His advice? :/

What should be our aim?
